Oh yeah you already got me tagged and I’m definitely following. Matter fact I am germinating sour diesel and great white seeds right now so I can grow along with you! I’ll start a new journal for those in a Day or so. Thanks @garrigan62

Mixed some studies show greater growth but with a double edged sword so to speak since mildew and mold love moisture you need heavy air movement on plants to grow humid. This is to make sure moisture doesn’t build in buds or on leaves for the first several weeks high RH has little impact but like I said it carries risks. Some say it can add considerably to growth rates but some strains are far more resistant to mould best advice I can give is keep air flowing through canopy and look into speeding up exhaust to deal with it Dehumidifiers produce heat lots of it needing you to deal with it by increasing exhaust if simply increasing exhaust would reduce RH you are saving both expense and frustration

I would definitely invest in a de-humidifier. It is the easiest way to insure dense buds. 60% is too high for flowering. You want it bertween 40% and 50%. PLants will adapt to apporx. 20% difference in environmental or nutrition values. So +/- 5-10% in humidity can be worked out.

Some guidance: Make sure to get on with a drain outlet that hooks up to a hose. This way you can set it up on a table with an open drain into a 5 gallon bucket w/LID (must drill access hole for hose to keep humidity from discharge from increasing RH).

2nd thing is; If you cannot get a model with a drain, then make sure to buy a unit with at least 5-8 pint reservoir.

3rd. I bought a more expensive model that was refurbished, allowing me more power and stability for the same price as a small unit that is NIB.
